What Are Tracking Technologies?

Tracking technologies are small bits of data that websites store on your device or access while you browse. The most common type is called a "cookie" – not the chocolate chip kind, unfortunately.

These tools serve different purposes. Some remember your preferences so you don't have to keep re-entering information. Others help us see which pages people visit most often or where they might be getting stuck.

Here's what actually happens: when you visit our site, your browser receives these small text files. They sit quietly in the background and send information back to us about your visit. Nothing sinister – just data about what pages you viewed and how long you stayed.

Types of Tracking We Use

Not all tracking serves the same purpose. We've grouped ours into four categories based on what they actually do for you and for us.

How These Technologies Help You

Beyond making the site work, tracking technologies genuinely improve your experience in specific ways:

• Your accessibility preferences stay consistent across all pages, so you don't need to adjust settings repeatedly
• When you return to partially completed forms or applications, your information is still there waiting for you
• We can identify and fix technical problems faster because we see where people encounter errors
• Content recommendations become more relevant based on what topics you've explored previously
• Page load times improve because some elements are stored locally rather than downloaded fresh each time
• Security features work better at detecting unusual activity that might indicate unauthorised access

What Information Gets Collected

Let's be specific about what data these technologies actually gather. We're not collecting anything particularly personal – mostly technical information about your visit.

The typical data includes your IP address (which tells us roughly where you're browsing from), what type of device and browser you're using, which pages you visited and in what order, how long you spent on each page, and what links you clicked.

If you're logged into an account with us, we also tie this browsing data to your profile so we can show you relevant course recommendations and remember your progress through our training materials.

We don't collect sensitive personal information through these technologies. Payment details, identification documents, or private correspondence – none of that travels through cookies or similar tracking.

Third-Party Technologies

Some tracking technologies on our site come from other companies whose services we use. For example, we might use Google Analytics to understand site traffic, or video hosting services to deliver course content.

These third parties have their own privacy policies that govern how they use data collected through their technologies. We choose partners who meet reasonable privacy standards, but we can't control their practices completely.

You can block third-party cookies specifically without affecting the first-party ones that come directly from igniteon-flow.com. Most browsers have a dedicated setting for this.

Changes to Our Tracking Practices

Technology evolves, and so do our practices. When we make significant changes to how we use tracking technologies, we'll update this page and note the revision date at the top.

For major changes that substantially affect your privacy, we might also send an email notification if you're on our mailing list, or display a notice on the site itself.

We recommend checking back here occasionally, especially if privacy matters a lot to you. Though honestly, we don't anticipate dramatic changes – our approach to tracking is pretty stable.
